[R] about saving format

[Ulrik Stervbo]

I have no clue how Rstudio saves plots, but when I was writing directly to
the pdf plot device I had similar problems. Setting useDingbats = TRUE made
everything work well.

I think it is more prudent - and less clicking here and there - to save
plots from within the script.

I imagine this works as expected:

pdf(useDingbats = TRUE)
plot(0, xlab = "Percent (‰)", ylab = "Another Percent (‰)”)
dev.off()

Best,
Ulrik
